I have always been fascinated by other people’s photography and it was only recently I decided to start taking my own photos. I live in Glencar, which has a rugged and distinctive Landscape. It was this landscape that got me interested in photography. I wanted to show others the natural beauty I was surrounded with, so I found the best way to do this was through photography. While out exploring and teaching myself at the same time, I found myself wanting to learn more. It was at this point I realised I had found something I was passionate about. There is just something about the whole process that appeals to me. The countryside air being the main thing, but also the satisfaction of seeing a finished image hanging on a wall. I am relatively new to the scene so I haven’t quite developed a style yet. Although I don’t have a style, the majority of my images are moody and contain dark tones which reflect my personal taste.

​​Tina specialises in oil painted landscapes and has over 20 years experience as an artist, covering various disciplines.
She draws inspiration from the beautiful Killarney National Park and the Mountains and Lakes of Kerry and West Cork near her home in the Clydagh Valley just outside Killarney, Co Kerry in Ireland.
Tina uses an 'impasto' technique in her paintings, where paint is layered and textured to build up a tactile three dimensional surface. She uses the palette knife to create spontaneous effects bringing movement and life to her work. Strong colours and contrast generate the energy and vigour that is in the landscapes of South West Ireland.

Emilie Doyle is a printmaker living and working in Cork City. Born in 1988 in Kildare, Doyle studied Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design, where she received her BA degree in Printmaking in 2011. Doyle was the recipient of the 2011 Limerick Printmaker’s Bursary and was a working member of artist collective Raggle Taggle Consortium during her bursary year.  Her work is an exploration and manipulation of what is often thought to be unsightly or uninteresting. She explores how beauty can often be found in banal, every day sights, most often through the techniques of collograph and dry point prints. Her work draws inspiration from the strong lines and angular shapes that can be seen in industrial design.

Katie graduated with a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art from the Crawford College of Art & Design in 2012. She has recently exhibited in  Lavits Quay Gallery, Cork city, The 2020 Gallery, Cork city and the Joan Clancy Gallery, Dungarvan. Her work forms part of several private and public collections including Cork Institute of Technology.

My paintings have been inspired by numerous subjects regarding the psychological aspects of identity, sense of place,  history and concepts of beauty.
